A TV anime produced by SynergySP, based on the manga by Miyako Kashiwa with the original concept by Harawata Saizou, serialized on Shogakukan's "Manga One" and "Ura Sunday," with over 2 million copies in circulation (as of 2020). Akira Shiroyanagi, a brilliant and game-loving high school student, is suddenly killed by the mysterious organization "Mion" and resurrected as a person with supernatural abilities. The power granted to Akira is "the ability that your opponent thinks you have." Forced to participate in Mion's ability battle program alongside fellow ability users Yuuri Amatou, Madoka Kirisaki, Shin Kumakiri, and Ringo Tatara, Akira leverages his intellect and negotiation skills to maximize his unique ability in this survival game. The series spans 12 episodes. The main cast includes Ayumu Murase as Akira and Aimi as Yuuri. ©2021 Miyako Kashiwa, Harawata Saizou, Shogakukan/Battle Game in 5 Seconds Production Committee
